    About this ebook

    A collection of poetry and quotes that were scribbled unto paper under a the slivery hues of moonlight, while the wine functioned as a chaser to the bitterness of the lips that were kissed.

    Love make for terrible poetic people. Either we spill heartfelt truths upon the lips we meet or we spill our heartache unto paper when the wine is no longer sufficient to drown the bitterness.

    I scribbled unto paper words I had no courage to speak. So this book contains all those thoughts, experiences, quotes and wishes that my poetic soul holds. I think we find solace in the words of others, so we know we are not alone in this chaos we call life.
    So let this be a book you will keep close, when you need a reminder that you are strong or when you need to know it's okay to bend when a hurricane enters - as long as you do not break.

    Cedrus Poetry

    An author that tried so hard to love other in an effort to feel loved that the world turned gray and darkness consumed me. I am someone that broke so others might heal and I tried to heal what others broke I am someone who will spill words unto paper so others might find solace in the chaos we call life

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
